Plymouth Harbor On Sarasota Bay
By Tracy Eisnaugle
Plymouth Harbor graciously opened its doors in 1966. A dream turned reality for The Rev. Dr. John Whitney MacNeil, who envisioned an inclusive, interfaith community based on shared values: trust, open communication, integrity, honesty, innovation, and superb quality. Over the years Plymouth Harbor has evolved into the area’s most distinctive community for active older adults, establishing a lasting tradition based on their strong principles, and attracting generations of exceptional residents.

A landmark community in Sarasota, Plymouth Harbor is located on Coon Key, a unique sixteen-acre sanctuary nestled on the pristine Sarasota Bay. The beautifully maintained campus includes serene walking trails, resident gardens, boat slips, kayak and canoe launch, and refreshing outdoor pool area. Residents enjoy the natural habitat that surrounds this tranquil tropical setting.
The building was ingeniously designed to offer a wide variety of residential apartments, featuring eighteen different floor plans to suit the evolving lifestyles of their residents. Many of the apartments offer spectacular views of the Sarasota Bay, the Gulf of Mexico or the surrounding city sites. Customization of individual apartments is highly encouraged to best suit the needs of each resident and allow for a smooth transition into their new living environment.
A stunning renovation of the main lobby has recently been completed, which has retained the urbane style and character of the original design. The interior amenities include a fitness facility, indoor therapy pool, full service dining restaurant, theatre, and library. Both residents and staff are enthusiastically involved in coordinating programs, performances, lecture series, and social events. Although there is no need to leave the all-inclusive Plymouth Harbor, it is conveniently located just minutes from the renowned shopping and dining of St. Armands Circle and Sarasota’s continually evolving downtown area. Beyond Plymouth Harbor the residents are active members of various art, education and civic groups. As concerned global citizens, they strive to inspire others through volunteering and contributing to organizations worldwide.

Residents Andrew and Beverly Wright state “There is no other place in Sarasota with the views and location like this. Not to mention the convenience of being so close to downtown Sarasota and the cultural scene. We are within a few minutes walk of St. Armands Circle, one of the most beautiful shopping centers in the world. We see people making the mistake of postponing the “good life.” We decided years ago that Plymouth Harbor was the place where we could have our freedom to enjoy our later years.”
